To every problem, there must be a solution!!!

Is that the only available port

Countries without ray of sunshine are creating sunlight via artificial means!!!

If they can go to that learnt then what are we battling with

anyimontana:
and Lagos doesn't make a dime internally bah?...weldon

anyimontana:
center of commerce indeed,just becos they've got the port all to themselves..and don't preach to me about dry ports

gaetano:


They know this. And they know an Igbo presidency will end that nonsense so them no go support.

fuckerstard:


E just b lyke that my guy, lagosian sef dey cry.

Although this project look fresh..

Alzirida:


I know ur plans.
They used it at Satome,
It collapsed 3wks later killing everyone including the designer

MobilityExpress:


Which plans?

DexterousOne:


To get to any eastern port
You MUST pass gulf of guinea

And the gulf of guinea is now a nest of vipers

The oil companies have loose cash
So at least they pay their way through these pirates

But can a regular business man do that?

Once your ship gets hijacked
Sorry

We need to get that place safe first

Then we can send some goods there

It will help that side


But will not crumble Lagos

Life is not "zero sum"

Win win situation is the end goal here

anyimontana:
I have handful of nnewi friends,and each clear nothing less that 2 containers a month..imagine if theres a port in Onitsha,tell me if Lagos won't be deserted

Wiseandtrue:
Temporary solution!!!

Utilize ports in other states to decongest Lagos!!!

The traffic is everywhere, it's too much!!!

GeoAfrikana:


A temporary solution is better than no solution. Moreover, what gives you the assurance that there isn't any plan to renovate the ports in Warri, Forcados, porthacourt and other places.

One step at a time, friend. What matters most is continuity.

TheAutoReporter:
Whats your take? Will they maintain this edifice?

The way forward is to diversify and open other ports, especially, the Calabar Sea Port. We can not run away from the truth. Must everything come from Lagos?

GeoAfrikana:
Chai! It's true ooo!!! If they renovate the ports in your place Lagos go dry. Most of the folks working in Lagos are from SS and SE.

But then that shouldn't stop us from diversifying. There's nothing wrong in having two mega ports in our country. I really hope that our government will consider renovating a port in SE/SE.

Kapeter:
onne port. Just a reminder

kayusely70:
I learnt onne port is now functioning well

gaetano:

Adiwana:


Rare to see your breed this days on nairaland as you sound knowledgeable and articulate without any sentimental bias.kudos

On the other hand,we all know the whole pirates on gulf of Guinea claim if it was made by the govt is a flat excuse not to tamper with some individuals who control that port's pockets.Excuses abound for so many failures in this country and if the govt was serious about decongesting the port and thus bringing development to other regions in the country,piracy will be a secondary issue

Thanks

The insecurity is something else down there

I know what I am saying

Adiwana:


Not disputing that but believe me that if pirates operated in such a way that oil won't find it's way out of the country whether it occurs in Nigerian waters or not,the govt will not treat it with kid gloves.

They will do everything within their powers to make sure there's smooth sailing as it works right now.There wont be any excuse cause that affects their pocket directly.

As I said,the govt at the very least should restore those ports to working conditions then we can worry about pirates later.Its just like the fed govt saying they can't stop Boko Haram because nobody agreed to sell them weapons.Logically it's an excuse but at the same time no excuse.

While the easterners are right on their point that the phenomenal growth of Lagos has been due to the presence of the port complexes, even if they split up the traffic and sent some to the delta areas, Lagos can never go down again. It has become a regional hub of African commerce, too much infrastructure has been vested in there already.

The real reason for the pressure on the Lagos ports is that shipping to the delta is much more expensive (higher insurance costs) owing to piracy in that section of the gulf of Guinea. But we all know that the pirates are natives of that same region, they are kith and kin of the same set of people screaming here on nairaland about Lagos' undue advantage.

My one regret is that other SW governors have failed to leverage on the proximity of Lagos to their states for massive development of the entire southwest. All they needed to do was build excellent road and rail linkages and by now we would have been talking of a 'Greater Lagos' conurbation stretching as far inland as Ibadan to the north and the southern reaches of Ondo state to the east. We would have had one of the largest industrial regions in the world, it would have been the undisputed giant of Africa!

So 'Otoh Wulf' is actually 'Otto Wolfe'?? And here I was thinking Otoh Wulf is a Yoruba nomenclature.
